THIS is the dubious moment a passenger plane was almost forced to abort its landing as fierce winds wreaked havoc along the runway.

The Swiss Air jet had a very nerve-wracking arrival at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam as it got caught in the ferocious storms which have been battering the Netherlands over the weekend.

As it approached the runway, the aircraft was seen dramatically rocking from side-to-side as shocked onlookers watched, with one child seen with their arms outstretched, mimicking the plane's unusual course.

The plane then lurched onto its side, almost scraping a wing along the tarmac, before being knocked the other way and continuing to sway as the wheels hit the ground.

Then at the last moment, as the huge aircraft bumps its way along the runway, the pilot suddenly realises it isn't safe and pulls the plane back up into the air.

It comes after the world's largest passenger plane had a similarly terrifying landing at the same airport over the weekend.
